Bodily Exercise and Mental Work.

1t is my opinion that Americans, as a
rule, work too hard, especially the New
Yorkers. For instance, the slow and
easy manner in which the businessN man
of Philadelphia goes through his work is
in striking contrast with the ''push" and
haste of the New Yorker. used to
work fifteen and sixteen hours day, and
came near breaking down. The family
physician urged me to take horseback
exercise. I did so, and in that way, be-
came interested in horses. Before l had
been riding three months I could do
moro work in three hours than I was
able to do before in ten or twelve. For
merly, T felt dull and stupid; after took
the outdoor exercise I felt bright, active,
and ready for work.-RobeTt Bonner.

part of circuit judge in this State to grant

Frederick Sessions informs us, that in
our First-day schools and mission meet
ings, standing just outside our Society
organization, there are probably as many
as $4,000 persons under the care OF our
more earnest minded members" We
have no statistics of former years with
which to compare this statement, but we
feel sure we are within the mark If we
saw that this is more than hundred times
as many as were in similar position

An earnest Christian farmer who lives
four miles from church in one of the
staid New England towns, and whose
family consists of only himself and his
wife, sends three teams every Sabbath to
take to church people who reside in his
neighborhood and have no conveyance Of
their own. His example is worthy OF im-
itation. The vacant pews might he filled
up in this way, and many intirm and aged
people would rejoice to share in the wor-

New York busy with corrupt Alder

such corruption as we! There Tweed's
methods have been adopted, even to the
escape of one of the chief criminals. Vir-
tue and vice are ever repeating them
selves. Great cities breed every class of
criminals. The honest government Of
a great cityis as yet an unsolved problem.
Persseen.,s are found making half-defsase
of such villainies. they say: "Thieves
who steal percentage OF expenditure
must improve cities while honest men
make little outlay" There is some truth
in that, but material improvements
at the expense of public morals are mon
uments of shame, and nile-stones on the
road to national ruin. Paris was never

wears of the reign of Louis Napoleon.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE
Character of Pamphlets to be Issued
The Railroad Celebration,

SAN FRANCISCO, November 29th.-At the
meeting of the State Board of Trade this
afternoon discussion was had relative TO
the matter of pamphlets to be issued by the
Board.
General Manager Brown believed that a
twenty-page pamphlet would contain all
the information that the Board was desir-
Gus OF distributing. If more specific infor-
nation was desired, it would then be in
place to send inquiries for the books pub.
iished by the different counties.
Mr.. Mills then addressed the Board on
the subject of the celebration to be held on
the completion of the California and Ore
gon Railroad. He stated that it would be
completed on the 9th of December, and
that the excursion to Portland would occu-
py from the 10th to the 10TH Representa-
tives would be present from the State. CITY.
Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade,
Manufacturers Association, Produce Ex
change and State Board of Trade. The ex-
pense of the round trip will be S25 for each
delegate, which will include sleeping ac-
commodations for six days. Sleeping cars
can be used by the delegates while in Port
land. This rate is liable to a reduction,
however. The different Boards to be rep
resented and the merchants of the city at
large will contribute a greater or less
amount toward the expenses of the trip.
Mr.. Bartlett offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resolred, That the California State Board OF
Trade proceed at once to place in the city OF
Los Angeles an exhibit of the products of the
several counties affiliating Herewith and main.
tain the same for the space of four months.
On motion of Mr.. Mills the consideration
OF the resolution was made the special or
der for next Tuesday, and the meeting then
adjourned until that day.

CHOICE COMMITTEES,
Duties to which Our Congressman Would
Like to be Assigned.

Like to be Assigned.
[Copyrig, 1887, by the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, November 29th.-[Special. I
The subject which most deeply interests
the Pacific Coast Congressman at the pres
ent time is the places they will be assigned
upon the Committees of the House. AL
ready several of the California members in
the city have had quiet talks with Carlisle
and those who are en- route will interview
the probable Speaker as soon as they can
get an opportunity. In the last Congress
Mr. Morrow was a member of the Com
mittee on Commerce Mr.. FELTON, of the
Committee OF Coinage, Weights and Meas
ures, Mileage and American Ship-buiIdinp
and Ship-owning; MIR. Henley on Public
Lands and Public Buildings and Grounds:
Mr.. McKenna on Claims and Mines and
Mining; Mr.. Louttit on Pensions and Ex-
penditures in the State Department.
FELTON, and Thompson are both candi.
dates Tor appointment as members of the
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors
This is one of the most important COM
mlttees OF the House, and the Speaker
will be deluged with applications for posi-
tons upon it. The older Democratic mem
bers will stand better chances for places on
this committee than new ones. FELTON,
Will probably have less difficulty in being
assigned to the minority than Thompson
In getting a place among the majority
members of the committee. McKenna
may be another applicant for position on
Rivers and Harbors from California, but
as he is not here his aspirations are un-
known. Possibly he might be content
with position on the Naval Affairs Com
mlttee. Morrow, it is said. would like to
go on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
where he could expound his pronounced
views on the subject of Chinese immigra-
ton. Biggs would like to be member of
the Committee on Agriculture and Mines
and Mining. As there is not much of q
rush for places on either of those commit
tees his ambition may be gratifed. Van
dever does not say what he wishes in the
way of committee assignments, but he
probably would be content with Pensions
and Postoffices and Postroads.

REDWOOD CITY, November 29th.-One of
the most coWardly attempts at murder ever
know took place here this afternoon. DIR.
l.. 4. Powell shot, and it is thought fatally
wounded, R. S. Smith, editor of the Gazette.
The trouble grew out of an article in the
Gazette last Saturday, in which Powell was
arraigned for defrauding poor widow out
OF money paid TOR town water Smith and
Powell met last Sunday, and few hot
words passed between them, Powell being
the aggressor. In the mean time Smith
was warned by friends to look out for
Powell, as he had made threats of shoot
ing. To-day, about l P. NJ, Smith was
standing In front of the Pioneer Drug Store,
when Powell walked up to him. Smith
SAID Doctor, heard you were going to
shoot me-"
Powell answered: Yes"
Smith drew back his umbrella, and
Powell drew pistol and fired shot. Dur
ing the excitement Smith turned around
and second shot took effect in his back,
at the base of the shoulder-blade. the third
missing him.
Powell was locked up and the wounded
man carried into the drug store and doc
tors summoned. He was placed on a litter,
and a dozen willing hands assisted in carry
ing him home, where he now lies in a criIi-
cal condition. Powell was drunk at the
time of the shooting, his normal condition
ever since his arrival in town. He is q
man about six feet tall and able-bodied,
while his opponent is about five feet four
inches, and much smaller than Powell.
Every body considers the shooting cowardly.
Powell is brother of Powell, the defeated
Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio
at the last election, and also a brother-in-
law of DR.. S. Stambaugh, of San Francisco.
NO HOPE FOR -HE VICTIM.
REDWOOD CITY, November 29sh.-At mid
night Smith was resting easily, but the
doctors had no hopes.
